Police search continues for second crash victim

■ G AME O N !

Chilliwack RCMP are continuing to search for what they believe is a second victim in a crash that has already claimed the life of a 36-year-old Chilliwack woman. The incident occurred late Sunday night after a Ford F-150 truck smashed through a concrete barrier on Ballam Road and McDonald Road and plunged into the Fraser River. At the time, the RCMP dive team was called in to assist as the vehicle was pulled from the water. The initial search recovered just the body of the woman. Police now believe, however, she wasn’t alone. “We are doing everything possible in an effort to locate what we believe is a second victim in this tragic accident,” said Cst. Tracy Wolbeck. “We want to be able to bring closure to the families involved in this and will continue to do whatever is necessary to recover him.” The RCMP Underwater Recovery Team will be attending the scene [Thursday] morning with sonar equipment in an attempt to locate the missing man.

Policy clears way for resumption of Bible distribution Alina Konevski The Progress

glossy, in colour, description of the Christian organization, along with a request for parental approval to receive a free Gideon Bible. At that meeting, the school board had deleted the note granting special permission to the Gideons to distribute Bibles, and resolved to create a new policy by March 2013. The superintendent of the school district, Evelyn Novak, says she consulted extensively with the community about this policy. This included talks with the aboriginal and education policy advisory committees, consisting of students, teachers, staff, and parents. Novak also met with Gideon representa-

DLN 8692

The Chilliwack Board of Education unanimously approved a broad new policy for distributing materials and information in schools at Tuesday’s board meeting that satisfied the religious community, but triggered complaints about the separation of church and state. According to new policy 518, “Recognized charitable organizations and other organizations having educational or community service attributes may be authorized by the superintendent of schools

or the superintendent’s delegate to have information or materials distributed.” Members of the board and the gathered public took this to mean that the status quo will remain, and that non-profit religious groups will be allowed to distribute bibles to children at school, upon parental approval. The issue of materials and information distributed in Chilliwack public schools ignited when local parent Richard Ajabu complained at the Nov. 13, 2012, school board meeting about a permission slip his child received from Gideons International. The paper was a

tives, who expressed support of the final draft. Finally, Novak reviewed petitions that the community has submitted over the last few months. This included 403 signatures on an online petition started by the BC Humanist Association to “Prevent the distribution of religious materials in public schools,” and a similar letter from the BC Civil Liberties Association. BCHA says that distributing bibles in public schools contravenes Section 76 of the B. C. School Act, which requires that education be strictly secular. In doing so, such a policy “represents an attempt to use public schools for

religious proselytizing.” Novak also received petitions from First Avenue Church (with 150 signatures), Chilliwack Alliance Church (380 signatures), Central Community Church (unspecified number of signatures), and 311 signatures from an online petition started by parent Mike Unruh. These groups support a policy in which parents have the option to approve their child receiving a Bible at school. In total, there were 841 signatures in support, and 403 against. Of the BCHA signatures, only 69 were from Chilliwack residents. Continued: BOARD/ p4

School district ‘hopeful’ as capital plan moves forward Alina Konevski The Progress

The Ministry of Education has placed $56 million of capital plan projects in Chilliwack’s school district on “high priority.” However, there is no guarantee these will be funded. The ministry approved the Chilliwack school board’s fiveyear capital plan in its entirety, the board announced at a meeting Tuesday. The plan is to replace mobile classrooms with additions

worth a total of $20 million at Promontory Heights Elementary, Sardis Elementary, GW Graham Secondary, Watson Elementary, and Evans Elementary. Vedder Middle School and Tyson Elementary are in the plan to receive mechanical and energy upgrades, at about $1 million each. The district plans to construct two brand new schools in the Eastern Hillsides, at a budget of $32 million. One will be a kindergarten to Grade 6 school, and the other a kindergarten to Grade 9 school.

The plan also allows for replacing two school buses. This is the first time since 2010 that the ministry of education has requested capital long-term facility plans. And even though the district submitted a plan in 2010, there was little expectation of it being funded, because the ministry was not spending capital dollars in the aftermath of the 2008 economic crisis, finance director James Richards explained. The board sees the ministry’s acceptance of the current five-year plan as a “positive and hopeful”

development, said superintendent Evelyn Novak. “We are one of the only districts in B. C. that is growing in enrollment,” said Novak. “Space is a concern for our board because of the numbers of students in our schools.” The school board estimates that 616 new students will enroll by the 2017/18 school year. By 2026, the expectation is 2,500 new students. Most of the growth comes from people moving to the area, drawn by a strong economy and relatively low housing prices.

“Something will have to give at some point, because we can’t just keep adding portables at these schools,” said Richards. The ministry will prioritize all the high priority projects across the province, to come up with a final list. “We don’t know where (Chilliwack’s capital plan requests) are going to fall once all that is done,” said Richards. “Now we wait,” said Novak. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/WriteInBC

Rainfall record splashed Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Keep that umbrella handy. Significant amounts of rain soaked Chilliwack this week in the wake of heavy storms washing across the Fraser Valley. There’s more monsoon-like weather to come, say the meteorologists, with another frontal system full of subtropical moisture poised to strike the South Coast Wednesday night. Tuesday saw a daily record broken on March 12, with 49.4 millimetres of rainfall, according to Roger Pannett, Chilliwack volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. That beat out the previous record of 42.2 mm for that day in Chilliwack set back in 1920. The storm total hit 68.4 mm of rain by Wednesday morning, and the total to date for the month of March is 116.7 mm. With the total average for the month at 176.1 mm, there still “more monsoon rain to come!” said Pannett. Heavy rain was expected to continue through Wednesday night and all day Thursday. Another 50 to 80 mm is forecast to fall by March 14.

As election candidates are calling on supporters to come pick up their lawn campaign signs, city officials are reminding residents that campaign posters are prohibited until after the writ is dropped. One election candidate has already violated the rule. With the election tentatively scheduled for May 14, 2013, the writ should be dropped by April 16. An election must be called 28 days before voting day. Prior to this date, publicly displayed campaign signs violate city bylaws. This includes the new signs at the office of New Democratic candidate Patti MacAhonic at 45840 Yale Road, which display the candidate’s name, the official NDP logo, and the slogan, “Change for the better.” City officials said the signs appear to contravene bylaws because the ones on the lawn are election signs, and the ones on

the building require a development permit. The city has contacted MacAhonic’s office to resolve the matter. After the writ is dropped, during the election period signs cannot be placed or distributed within 100 metres of city hall or a voting location. Signs cannot be attached to trees, utility poles, lamps, or traffic lights and other traffic signs. And, they cannot obstruct driver visibility if placed on or near highways. Currently, election candidates wishing to post campaign signs must apply for an election sign permit, and submit a $500 deposit to the city. The city returns the deposit once all signs come down after the election. City council will consider a new bylaw on Tuesday that proposes to raise the deposit to $1,000, and regulate signage according to the type of property. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/WriteInBC

Medical pot farm had 15 times the licensed limit: RCMP A rural Chilliwack home licensed by Health Canada to grow medical marijuana had 15 times its allowable limit when police raided the property last week, Chilliwack RCMP allege. Nearly 2,000 plants were seized from the Eastern Hillsides home, located in the 7300 block of Ramsay Place, RCMP said. “We have encountered several abuses to the medicinal marijuana system, but this one was pretty significant,” said Cst. Tracy Wolbeck. “This is a continued focus for our drug unit due to the danger these operations pose to the community.”

Police also recovered an improperly stored firearm, a significant amount of cash, and “dried marijuana bud that looked ready for distribution.”

RCMP secured a warrant to search the property after gaining information from BC Hydro indicating a significant theft of electricity was occurring.

Prior to the search, police learned that the property was home to multiple Health Canada Designated Personal Production Licences to produce marijuana for a medicinal purpose. Members of the Chilliwack RCMP drug section were joined by the Chilliwack Fire Department, BC Hydro personnel, and City of Chilliwack inspectors. A 32 year old Abbotsford man was arrested at the residence without incident and was released on a Promise To Appear in court in June, 2013.

The person, the very family, that precipitated this, was not even consulted. And yet the Gideons were.” Several board trustees spoke in favour of the policy, explaining that they felt it provided freedom to groups of all faiths to introduce children to different ideologies. “I think this policy absolutely nails it,” said trustee Heather Maahs. “I think what we have done...is opening the door to our students getting a better education, by way of learning about any different non-profit organization or churches that want to distribute materials.” The Gideons have been distributing Bibles

to Chilliwack schoolchildren for about 70 years. Annually, approximately 10 per cent of students elect to receive one. Policy 518 of the Chilliwack Board of Education follows in the footsteps of the Abbotsford school district, which instituted a similar inclusive policy. The two districts are alone in B. C. to allow Bible distribution in public schools. Both BCHA and Ajabu made reference to taking the fight to keep Bibles out of schools to court. “If the board does pass the policy in its current form, are they prepared to fight this battle, are they prepared to spend tax-payer dollars, fighting this all the way to court?” said BCHA president Ian Bushfield. Ajabu had the final word. “I will discuss with other people and decide how to proceed. But this policy is clearly breaking section 76.”

Standing together against violence Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Presenters at the International Women’s Day event Friday in Chilliwack made the point that since anger and violence are learned behaviours, they can also be unlearned. The keynote speakers — who work to end domestic violence in professional capacities — addressed the crowd at the Standing Together: Uniting against Violence event, put on the Soroptimists of Chilliwack and Chilliwack-Hope MLA Gwen O’Mahony. The afternoon program at St. Thomas Anglican Church included a video presentation about the BC Lions’ Be More Than A Bystander program with the End Violence Association of BC, as well as keynote addresses by Damian George of the Moose Hide Campaign and Dr. Rob Lees, a psychologist with the Ministry for Child and Family Development. Damian George, an artist and the grandson of Chief Dan George, works as a spiritual advisor in the correctional system, providing support to male inmates. “I am a product of violence,” he told the audience. “My mother wore the all-too-famililar big, black sunglasses.” The impact of residential schools and the 60s Scoop of aboriginal youth meant they were stripped of their heritage, of their mother tongue, of their songs and heritage, which led to helplessness, substance abuse, violence, and jail for some. He told the story

of how when he was married, he thought he wasn’t an abusive man because he never beat on his partner. “Then I started my healing journey,” George said. He went on retreats with the War riors Against Violence, where he learned that anger is a learned emotion. Name calling, monitoring or controlling behaviour are forms of violence that we don’t always see as violence, he noted. “These are the things I’ve learned to defuse by recognizing the emotions that lead up to them.” Dr. Rob Lees touched on some of the promising practices in domestic violence work being uncovered in current research. He presented the notion that empathy is hardwired in, not competition and violence. Organizations addressing domestic violence and abuse have shifted from a movement that served battered women, he noted, to more professional bodies that offer a range of support and services. Lees brought up something they’re finding in the review of literature that women want to be safe, but they also want to be in relationships and be connected to their partners, he said. “They want the men to be fixed; to be healed,” he said. It’s about learning new behaviours, Lees added, echoing George’s comments, and about developing new models of manhood and relationships. “I don’t think there is an anger problem, I think there is a hopelessness problem.”

The work, The Empathic Civilization by Jeremy Rifkin, argues that the core drive of humanity is to belong and to have empathy for others. “It’s aggression and violence that are perversions of that core drive.” Breakout sessions

Speed limit lowered on Ashton Road

only one or two officers on duty. He said the RCMP has agreed to a zero tolerance policy within the new speed zone. However, the change to the speed limit didn’t seem to be enough for some who spoke at the meeting. “I don’t think council has look at this sufficiently,” Sylvia Pranger said. She said she’d like to see Pioneer Ave. addressed as well. “Council has not made any effort to assist us” in reducing traffic volume, added Dave Hastie. “We want reduced traffic along this route.” But council insisted that they are putting every effort into addressing their concerns. Coun. Holger Schwichtenberg said he’d like to see the slower speed limit extend to Fir Road, which is made up of a series of short jaunts broken up by 90 degree turns. “I don’t think it’s a hardship to go 30 km/ hr,” added Coun. Lorne Fisher.

Jessica Peters Black Press

The speed limit along a portion of Ashton Road is being reduced to 30 km/hr, following an incident in which a young girl was hit by a car. Kent council voted 3-1 (Mayor John Van Laerhoven was absent) in favour of the change on Monday night, and staff confirmed that the change will be made by the end of this week. Coun. Duane Post was the sole voice against the change, but he underlined that it is not because he doesn’t want to see improvements along that section of road. “I think education is needed,” he said. Council recently approved an ICBC road improvement study, and Post said he would rather have that study carried out before making any sweeping changes. “I’m a little bit hesitant to go along with this at this time,” he said, and would rather await ICBC’s opinion. Traffic flow was already being addressed along the route connecting Lougheed Hwy to the Agassiz-Rosedale bridge, by way of a select traffic committee. Some minor changes have already been made to the route, which carries from Ashton Road, to Pioneer Ave., Fir Rd., Mountainview Rd., Tuyttens Rd. and Whelpton Rd. The portion of Ashton Rd. being changed runs between the Lougheed Hwy and Holly Road. Staff recommended the change, due in part to the accident on Feb. 13, in which a six year old girl was hit by a car on the road. Since then, public concerns have been mounting, in the form of letters to council and delegations. Mick Thiessen, director of engineering services, said the change is one they could make quickly and affordably. Some of the road conditions mentioned in his report include the number of hidden driveways, narrow shoulders, pedestrian activity and the presence of a railway crossing. The report included a breakdown of costs for some of the suggestions made by the traffic committee and residents. Speed bumps are

about $3,000 each, and would need to be spaced 125 metres to 225 metres apart to be effective. Using an average of 200 metres spacing for the rural route would total $50,000. Raised intersections have also been suggested. Three raised intersections would cost $45,000. Some signage has been altered along the route, including 20 km/ hr advisory signs on the 90 degree turns on Fir Road.

But changing the speed limit will only deter people once tickets are handed out for speeding, many councillors, staff and those in the public gallery pointed out. CAO Wallace Mah said that RCMP have been stepping up enforcement in that area, and that ticketing for the October to December period was up 58 per cent from 2011 to 2012. The Agassiz detachment is doing what it can, Mah said, but sometimes there is

Here’s hoping for savings

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

With the return to a combination of a seven-per-cent provincial sales tax and five-per-cent federal goods and services tax April 1, the harmonized sales tax experiment will come to an end in B.C. Taxpayers shouldn’t count on having more money left over at the end of the month, however, as the changes made by the province in the wake of the initial HST – tax credits for lower-income families and seniors among them – will also come to an end. There will nonetheless be good news for consumers in certain sectors. Bob Parrotta, who serves on the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association, insists that patrons will see a reduction on their bills after the PST is reinstated, with the net result being a four to five-per-cent increase in sales. If that materializes, and there’s no guarantee it will, it could create jobs and benefit other related businesses. Other consumers, such as those planning to purchase a brand new home or buying a new bike, may see large savings in one transaction. The HST was supposed to provide a less complicated tax regime for the sale of goods and services and eliminate exemptions and hidden taxes created under the PST/GST system. There were still loopholes. For example, a person buying a donut at Tim Horton’s would pay tax on their purchase, while the same donut at a grocery store would not be taxed, since it was considered a grocery item. We hope the work the province has done on reforming the PST, since the public voted the HST out with a 55-per-cent majority, makes B.C.’s tax system more streamlined. Regardless, the public can’t expect things to be perfect under a system previously found to be inefficient and unfair, not to mention unwieldy for business. At the very least, we fully expect businesses that complained loudest about the HST to put their money where their mouth is and prove to customers they are saving money under PST/GST. ~ Black Press

BC Liberal ‘ethnic strategy’ is nothing new

VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature session ends this week. It can’t come quickly enough for Premier Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals. This is also the week we see the rest of the fallout from “ethnicgate,” as the latest controversy over partisan activity by political staff has been clumsily labelled. A disgruntled former B.C. Liberal caucus staffer handed the NDP opposition an internal memo setting out a strategy for ethnic “outreach” that strayed into forbidden territory, suggesting that ethnic-friendly government events could be staged and participants’ names collected and turned over to the party. “This secret plan clearly demonstrates the Liberals are deliberately folding government resources and staff into their party’s campaign machinery, despite rules that forbid this,” thundered NDP

house leader John Horgan. “We’ve seen this before, with the Liberals’ efforts to run a secret committee to subvert the public process around Burnaby Hospital, and in the attack website created by caucus staff and launched by the Liberal party.” Casual observers might see this as a disturbing Tom new development FLETCHER in misuse of public resources. It’s disturbing, all right, but it’s hardly new. The “attack website” Horgan refers to is a case in point. While a website targeting NDP leader Adrian Dix was being cooked up in the B.C. Liberal bunker, a similar effort was being developed in NDP research down the hall. This partisan message detailed all the

worthwhile things that could be done with the government’s $15 million advertising budget singing the praises of the government’s “jobs plan.” But this one carried the logo of the NDP caucus, so it was within the rules. The average person, seeing two groups of staff on the public payroll, each slagging the other, might not detect much of a difference. The biggest headline from the leaked memo was its reference to generating “quick wins” for the election campaign by staging apologies for historic racial injustices. It mentioned how former premier Gordon Campbell delivered a solemn apology in 2008 for the decision to turn away a ship carrying Sikh refugees from Vancouver harbour – shortly after the outbreak of the First World War. What does a modern provincial premier accomplish by apologizing

for a federal immigration decision made in 1915? Why would another premier now feel the need to apologize for a federal “head tax” imposed on Chinese immigrants from 1885 to 1923? The answer is obvious. Again, don’t expect much to change with an NDP government. Asked last week if he would stage an apology for the head tax, Dix delivered a well-rehearsed history lesson that made it clear he is anxious to do so. Welcome to politics in an urbanized, globalized media culture. It’s more important to put on a show than to do the right thing. Hospitals are announced three times before they’re built, then announced again when they are staffed. Politics is a lucrative career. Former B.C. Liberal MLA Lorne Mayencourt is one of the additional “outreach” staff hand-picked

by Clark. The B.C. Liberals retort that the NDP caucus has a similar staffer named Gabriel Yiu, who has taken three leaves of absence to run for MLA, and is in practical terms a professional NDP candidate. Yiu is running for a fourth time in Vancouver-Fraserview, having been defeated in 2009 by former West Vancouver police chief Kash Heed. That campaign was notorious for anonymous Chineselanguage pamphlets claiming the NDP favours legalizing drugs and imposing a “death tax” on inheritance. This latest scandal might produce meaningful reform. But the misuse of public money to further the interests of political parties is deeply entrenched.

Quality Service from our Family to Yours!

A step toward totalitarianism Voting on science” (The Progress - Points of View, March 12) raises two serious problems: One: “Democracy is a wonderful thing... But it fails when applied to science.” An erroneous distinction is made here in that exercising democracy is equated with voting on each and every issue — a somewhat half-baked oversimplification. The acid test is that we must have recourse when our individual or collective choices are abrogated to the state. In this case we appear to have been left with none. Instead we learn that even City Hall had absolutely no voice on our behalf: provincial legislation would hold each member of City Council personally liable were they seen to have gone against the opinion of medical authorities. When it comes to health, we are moving more and more towards a totalitarian state. Secondly: the assumption that

it was science in this instance that trumped the “democracy” socalled, of Chilliwack residents. The entire basis of that editorial is built on that assumption, as no actual science was presented. It is precisely the failure to present the science — or have examination of the methods — that frustrates many, perhaps the majority of us. It is misleading to call FHA’s investigation in this case “science.” What we have seen at play in this story is “eminence-based medicine,” where opinions are relied upon from medical authorities rather than scientific research carefully examined. Paul Van Buynder was successfully challenged on the very same principle, in the case where his attempt to force nurses into mandatory vaccination was pushed back by the BC Nurses union. Again in that instance an opinion was pronounced, instead of conclusive research produced.

(The international Cochrane Collaboration’s Alan Cassels points to the “cherry-picking” of data to extract the desired outcome, in this opinion-based practice: http:// www.cochrane.org/news/blog/ eminence-vs-evidence ) I have repeatedly challenged FHA to provide conclusive research proving chlorine is safe for long-term consumption – including at the town hall meeting, where Paul Van Buynder was ultimately silent on the question. Because he cannot provide it – conclusive credible research does not exist. By the way: the 5,600+ signatures on our petition is equivalent to more than two million signatures weighing in on a Canadian issue. A bit more than just a “vociferous group.” Wayne Froese, Chilliwack B.C.

No problem with the water

E.coli infection would be worse

Seems to me that we are living in a dictatorship community? Where does the FHA get off brow-beating a community into doing something that the people of the community do not want?

In re “Voting on Science”. Thank you for an insightful editorial. You can imagine the uproar if a few of those 4,470 people who protested became ill with E.coli infection. I’m 83 years old and have lived all my life in communities across Canada and the world where chlorination was the norm. It is only the last 14 years in which I have lived here.

I am so tired of people forcing people to do things that is obviously going against the wishes of the community. We have lived in Chilliwack for 10 years now and have never had any problems with the

water system. And to top it off, we the people have to pay for what we don’t want being done, just doesn’t sit right with me. Alberta is starting to look more and more inviting. Rita Baumeister

Why not install backflow prevention? I can’t believe that the only solution Fraser Health can come up with is to spend $1.5 million on a chlorination system for the entire network when their stated problem was “a number

of residences do not have backflow prevention.” (Progress March 12). Why not install some backflow prevention? George Willsie, Chilliwack

Looking for the owner of a lost camera On February 15, My wife Susie and I went to a Canucks hockey game. Great game, wrong final score. Susie was to the left of me, next to her was a small boy, about eight years old, dark hair, olive skin. With him was a guy about 27-30 years old. Wavey blond hair, medium build. They commented that they were also from Chilliwack. We understood them

to be “Big Brother - Little Brother” Not biological speaking. At the end of the game, we discovered they left a camera and case. We have tried to get this camera back to the boy. All pictures on the camera are of the game. No ID in the case. Have spoken with Big Brothers/ Big Sisters to no avail. Called the Canucks at Rogers Arena, nada. Even posted on Facebook. I am

hoping a reader of your paper might know of someone that went to that game. I would really like to get the camera back to the people that were sitting in seats 113 & 114, row 15, sec 106. Vancouver vs Dallas. They can contact me bob@ buhler.net or through HomeLife Realty 604-795-2955.

parked across the street at the water park to avoid the fees, which forced him to start charging for parking to offset the problem. “We receive more complaints about pay parking than any other aspect of our business, and yet it produces no additional revenue to our business.” The proposed increase could mean “a repeat of a similar economy at work,” with people again rushing to the water park for cheaper parking. “Raising the all day rate to $10 on weekends or special days would have a very negative effect on your leaseholders’ businesses,” he wrote. “I do not know of any business that has the luxury of increasing prices 100 per cent overnight.” The recommendations also call for paid parking to be instituted 365 days a year with daytime enforcement during peak season, overflow parking for Lakeshore Drive residents, and increased parking enforcement from the Sunnyside kiosk. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Forest tenure change pulled back Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has withdrawn legislation to overhaul its system of Crown forest licences, after protests that it would give too much control to forest companies. The amendments would have given the forests minister authority to convert licences to cut a certain volume of timber into area-based licences, to give companies greater incentive to invest in forest management. “Clearly there are very significant benefits to area-based management,” Forests Minister Steve Thomson said Tuesday.

“But there has also been a lot of misinformation and perceptions created around what it is and what it isn’t.” Thomson announced the proposed change after a special committee toured northern B.C. last year to study the effect of the pine beetle epidemic in the B.C. Interior. He said the delay of the legislation will not interfere with the rebuilding of the Burns Lake sawmill destroyed by an explosion and fire in January, 2012. The B.C. government already has authority to award areabased licences to local governments and aboriginal communities. Commitments by six Burns

Lake-area aboriginal bands were a key part of the decision by Oregon-based Hampton Affiliates to rebuild the mill. Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson organized a protest against the change, urging people to contact Thomson and ask for the delay. Simpson said the government was offering the change for the Burns Lake mill, but other forest companies would demand the same thing. The result would be a series of regional monopolies over Crown forest resources that would push out independent mill owners who don’t have large forest licences, Simpson predicted.

Dave was so devastated that he felt like crawling into the coffin right alongside her. Not long after she passed away, he was forced to go back into foster care. At the age of 18, Dave decided to go into the army. He did his basic training in Edmonton with Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. From there, he went to Camp Borden as a member of the Royal Medical Corps. “I was in train-

you understand.’ It’s an adage that Dave Serblowski lives by. It’s emblazoned on a sign in his office and he proudly admits ownership of it. Dave is a straight-forward, tender-hearted man who is nothing if not a hard worker. His early years were far from ideal but he made the best of the cards that he was dealt and rather than dwelling on the negative, took the valuable lessons that he learned and made life a

and became a farmer instead. It’s what my family did, so it was in my blood.” He farmed in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario but by the late sixties, Dave moved to BC and after doing a variety of odd jobs, he enrolled at Malaspina College to become a heavy duty mechanic. “After graduating, I tried to get a job as a mechanic but things didn’t work out so I went back to farming,” he said. This time, he tried his hand at dairy farming and made a name for himself in the industry. He always took his job seriously and worked as hard as any man could. Dave eventually wound up on a farm located halfway between Chilliwack and Abbotsford and he loved the job, working there for many years. Then in 1992 he injured his back and things fell apart. “I carried on and tried to work after I was injured but after a couple of months, I finally gave up. I couldn’t carry on. After that, I just didn’t feel like living anymore. I was the sole provider and I had my wife and three children to look after. We moved off the farm and went to live in Abbotsford,” he explained. For a whole year, Dave was devastated and demoralized. “You’ve always wanted to be a social worker,” his wife said. Then the light went on and Dave had something to work towards. His spirits buoyed and he began attending UCFV and in true Dave fashion, worked as hard as he could. “I did receive a diploma in Social Services with an extended study in First Nations Culture.” With diploma in hand, he came to the realization that what he actually wanted was to move into the area of Adult Education. “This was a perfect fit and I finished the first semester but didn’t reapply for the second semester. As it stands now, I am four courses away from a degree in Adult Education,” he explained. Continued: Ana/ p21

Home&Garden The ‘real’ shamrock for St. Patrick’s Day Once in a while it is nice to pay tribute to a plant that really only gets recognition one day of the year - the shamrock. It was origin a l l y chosen as Eire’s national emblem because of the legend Brian t h a t Minter S a i n t Patrick used this plant to illustrate the Christian doctrine of the trinity. The shamrock has also been considered by the Irish as a symbol of good luck since earliest times - a superstition that has persisted and spread to people of many nationalities. Each year as we near St. Patrick’s Day, we see a proliferation of shamrocks being sold as ‘the real thing’, but in fact there is some dispute

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1

as to which variety is the authentic shamrock. The most common plant being sold as a shamrock is Trifolium repens, a type of white clover. According to my research, using many different sources, this particular plant is most widely accepted as the ‘real’ shamrock. Many seed companies, in fact, sell the seed as the ‘true Irish shamrock’. They are usually sold in 2½ or 4 inch pots around St. Patrick’s Day, and they make a fine little plant for a sunny windowsill. They can also be planted outdoors almost anywhere, but the tiny yellow flowers are, quite honestly, not of great ornamental value. But don’t forget that old legend of good luck! A strong case can

also be made for wood sorrel being the plant St. Patrick used. Oxalis acetosella is native to the British Isles and during Elizabethan times, was a popular culinary herb. Back in the 1600’s, herbalist Nicholas Culpepper also recommended it as a medicinal herb. He suggested the plant would “quench thirst, strengthen weak stomachs and help repel any contagious sicknesses”. In actual fact, the leaves contain oxalic acid which, if taken internally in large amounts, may cause diarrhea, kidney failure or hemorrhaging. It does not sound very lucky to me! On the other hand, this hardy perennial herb makes a novel ground cover with bright

green tri-leaves and solitary white flowers that bloom from April through July. Oxalis regnellii is a dandy houseplant with dozens of tiny white flowers that bloom persistently in spring and summer. Not really hardy outdoors, in summer it makes a nice plant for a sunny patio. The secret to their care is to water them thoroughly, then let them dry out. The newest oxalis to appear in the marketplace is a very unique purple leafed variety called. O. triangularis ‘Heartbreaker’. It is an absolute beauty with its soft pink flowers contrasting nicely with its purple foliage. ‘Heartbreaker’ is not very Irish, but it certainly is attractive. One of the favourite shamrocks of most gardeners today is the ‘Iron Cross’ oxalis called O. deppi. This hardy little variety is a real beauty in light shade or sunny garden areas, and its rosy pink flowers make quite a showing. It may not be the real thing, but it is one of the best for our gardens.

TReO dangles more freebies to unsigned Port Mann drivers Jeff Nagel Black Press

Drivers who cross the new Port Mann Bridge and still haven’t signed on to the TReO electronic tolling system are being offered another round of incentives to register. More than 750,000 drivers already signed on to TReO by the end of February, when an offer of half price tolls for the rest of the year expired. Those who didn’t register by then must pay their $3 full price tolls quickly or else they get hit with an extra fee. A $2.30 licence plate processing fee waived for the first three months is now being added to what unregistered drivers must pay if they fail to pay a toll within a week of crossing. But holdouts who sign up by the end of June will get a rebate of any processing fees they rang up in the previous 30 days turned into a future credit on their account. New registrants also get a credit for two free trips. The processing fee is to recoup the costs of contacting ICBC to confirm the driver’s postal address and then mail the invoice. “Our hope is that no one is charged that fee either because they’re registered or they’re taking advantage of the payment methods we have,” Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Max Logan said. He said TReO registrants now make up more than 80 per cent of bridge users – much better than the typical 70 per cent for new electronic toll bridges. “We’re very pleased with that result,” he said, but added they wanted to offer another carrot to people who may be new arrivals in the region or just got a driver’s licence. Bridge operators want as many users as possible to be detected via windshield decals – a more reliable system than the licence plate cameras – and to have automatic payment set up. “Having that many people signed up contributes to the efficien-

What do you think? email: editor@ theprogress.com

cy and overall accuracy of the system.” Logan said he’s not concerned that some drivers may try to foil the licence plate cam-

eras and avoid paying to cross the Port Mann. “The cameras are ver y sophisticated, they’re high-powered

and they use infrared as well,” he said. “They can read licence plates whether they’re dirty or covered.” Any attempt to

obscure a licence plate can also result in a ticket for toll evaders who are caught by the RCMP. “If your licence plate

is obscured, it is an offence,” said RCMP Cpl. Robert McDonald. Meanwhile, time is running out for drivers who signed up early

and got a credit for 20 free trips to use them. Anything left of that $30 value is wiped off all accounts at the end of May.

Neighbours In conversation with Dave Serblowski His mother-in-law lived in Hope and required extra help so Dave and his wife moved in to assist her. He has always been passionate about crime prevention and this led him to start their Block Watch program, in addition to sitting on the board of the Hope Crime Prevention Society and taking a lead role in the Hope Citizens on Patrol program. After relocating back to Chilliwack, instead of returning to school, Dave began working for the Chilliwack Community Policing Society. He started off as a Block Watch coordinator but by 2006 landed the role of Crime-Free Coordinator. He was also on the BC Citizens on Patrol Advisory Committee until 2008 when he turned over that responsibility to someone else. As a certified trainer and the head of the ‘Train the Trainer’ program, he’s tasked with instructing others in the area of crime prevention including but not limited to RV Parks, Self-Storage, Lifestyles, which is a program similar to Block Watch, trailer parks, condos, town homes, hotels and motels. His extensive certifications are proudly displayed in his office and speak to the level of commitment and pride that he has in what he does. During the day, Dave can be found in the office but as the Crime-Free MultiHousing Coordinator, he’s usually out in the evenings doing night assessments. He’s also the parking coordinator for the society and lines up volunteers to park vehicles during special events. His job is actually not a job at all but a way of life and Dave loves every minute of it. His family, however, is his treasure. “I do love spending time with my family. When I was farming, I didn’t spend as much time with them as I wanted to. I’m proud of my kids and I taught them all to work hard,” he said. From the sounds of it,

his children as just are resilient as their father. “They’ve had a go of it this last while. My younger son fell 140 ft and lived, my older son broke his neck and my

daughter got hit by a train and survived. I’m grateful that they’re all still here and that’s all that matters,” he said. His wife also had open heart surgery two

years ago and is doing well. Through it all, Dave continues to work hard and tries his best to go through life with a positive outlook and a sense of humour.

This is Cancer is a whole other ride Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

The show This is Cancer goes into dark places with a flashlight. And that flashlight is humour. Star Bruce Horak portrays the living embodiment of cancer in the noholds barred production of This is Cancer. It’s his story. It’s his father’s story. It’s for everyone who’s ever been touched by cancer. Turns out that selfabsorbed Cancer is an egotistical jerk decked out in gold lamé. And he’s ultimately out to destroy us. Horak says the character came to him when he was working on a cabaret piece. “I had to change the name. I ended up calling him Cancer.” As a cancer survivor himself from a very young age, and someone who lost his father to the disease, the show still manages to be uplifting, charming and powerful all at once. “I had it so young, humour was just the way my family dealt with the darker stuff,” he says. Humour was the balm that helped when his father got sick, too. The subject can frighten some people off. He’s been doing the show for seven years, and he’s never had a walkout. Ok, truth is he had one. But turns out the poor audience member had just lost her husband the day before. “Performing this character is cathartic,” Horak says. “It’s absolutely intrinsically my story.” But Cats, or The Glass Menagerie, it is not. “I often get told it’s the most unusual piece of theatre anyone has ever seen,” says Horak. “You take a risk and

sometimes is also works out.” As Canada’s only legally blind actor, having lost 90 per cent of his vision to the disease, Horak has created a way to put a face to the disease. With superb comedic timing and stellar dance moves, he has produced a show that is really more about lightly examining life’s lumps and bumps than it is about getting too serious. There are some really humorous elements, but it’s not entirely a comedy. Cancer boasts irreverently about his most recent victims and then seems

hurt to discover that we all despise him. It’s hilarious, but it doesn’t stop at humour. “There’s some raw emotion and darker stuff,” he says. “And there’s direct address, meaning there’s interaction with the audience. It’s a whole other ride people will be going on.” Horak is originally from Calgary, spent a decade in Toronto and is now based in Vancouver. He’s been on the road for three years. This show has been touring since 2006. Nominated for Outstanding

Performance of a Musical or Comedy, and winner of Outstanding Actor in a Musical or Comedy, This is Cancer is an emotionally charged show. It’s a way for the audience to see the world through cancer’s eyes. It’s bizarre, and one of the most rewarding and difficult pieces Horak says he’s ever done. Some might think it’s tasteless shock value. But the actor insists there is a strong message of love and hope that comes shining through. It lends the people in the room a chance to settle

their feelings on cancer, to perhaps even laugh at it, robbing the disease of its unspoken power. The underlying message of the show is telling the audience to really live — and have a laugh. This is Cancer is generously sponsored by Simpson Notaries, The Chilliwack Progress, Department of Canadian Heritage and the British Columbia Arts Council.

Maeve MacKinnon - a truly stunning voice Described as possessing “a truly stunning voice,” Maeve Mackinnon is an awardwinning young Gaelic singer who has, in a few short years, emerged to become one of the leading Scottish folk musicians of her generation. The Harrison Festival Society presents the Maeve McKinnon Trio from Scotland on Friday, March 15 in the Harrison Memorial Hall. Singing in Gaelic and English, with a repertoire spanning traditional, contemporary and now original material, Maeve Mackinnon is renowned for the eloquent and emotional connection she forges with every song, communicated in a bewitchingly honeyed, husky, yet vibrantly earthy voice. Even amid the wealth of gifted musicians thronging today’s Scottish folk scene, singer Maeve Mackinnon stands out as an exceptional young talent. As one of the youngest artists whose work was honoured in the “Classic Album” series at Celtic Connections Festival 2008, Maeve has racked up a number of accolades over the last few years. Twice nominated as “Gaelic Singer of the Year” at the Scots Trad Music Awards (2011 and 2008 respectively), she was also named, “Up and Coming Artist of the year” at the 2007 Scots Trad Music Awards and a finalist in BBC Continued: MAEVE/ p28

With the 20th Anniversary of the Chilliwack Child and Youth Committee’s annual Consultation on Chilliwack’s Children on the horizon (April 26th), we thought it fitting to highlight some of the indiEryn viduals WICKER who are examples of those giving of themselves for children and youth in our community. I had the pleasure to speak with Dan Bibby, Community Service Manager of Chilliwack’s Ministry of Children and Family Development since 2010 and cochair of the Child and Youth Committee,

safety, and identifying service gaps and solutions. Focus on the Early Years, including Chilliwack’s recognition for our early year’s programs and service model, which includes Central Gateway and Strong Start centres. What keeps you invested in service to children, youth and families? Passion and commitment to address gaps in our social/ health/education community service

model. As Community Service Manager I witness the dedication and commitment from many professionals which serves as a motivator. What has changed for the good in Chilliwack over the past decades?

Federal funding gives local recreation a boost

Partners in Learning!

Friday marked more than the official opening of Yarrow Community School. It also celebrated the commitment of recreational funding in both Yarrow and Rosedale. Through the Recreational infrastructure Canada (RinC) program, the federal government committed $449,000 towards the development of recreational infrastructure in Chilliwack. The new infrastructure in Yarrow includes a sports court, tennis courts, several sports fields and a new playground. Approximately $161,000 went towards the Yarrow project, with the remainder to the Rosedale Traditional Community School. “These projects create jobs, and they continue to provide recreational opportunities for all members of our community,” said Chilliwack Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl. The City of Chilliwack contributed $1.3 million towards the Recreation projects in Yarrow and Rosedale. “Chilliwack Council strongly supports the provision of recreational activities in all our neighbourhoods,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “Thank you to the Government of Canada for your partnership on this important project, which will continue to have a positive impact in the Yarrow community for years to come.”

BUDGET CONSULTATION SURVEY 2013 The Board of Education is in the process of engaging all stakeholders in budget consultation to gather input into the development of the 2013-14 Annual Budget. Members of the community are invited to attend the District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) Meeting on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 7:00 pm at the School District Office to be a part of the budget consultation process.

Fitness

You have the power to choose a healthier lifestyle had to squeeze in her daily workout into her busy, and stressful day. Thinking things are unfair, or that you ‘have to do something’ is a defeating mindset and ultimately a waste of energy- a precious resource for most people. It leaves the

impression that you are a victim of your surroundings. And, it’s simply not true. You don’t have to do anything. In reality every action you take, every decision you make is a choice. The knowing that you choose your course of action

puts the power back in your hands. In extreme circumstances, the alternative choice can be so negative that making the right choice doesn’t require much thought. For example, making the decision to get out of a freezing cold lake after you fell in.

When it comes to weight loss and leading a healthy lifestyle, remembering that you have the power to choose can be very liberating. For example, if you’re out at a dinner party and someone offers you a chocolate cheesecake, you can

either think ‘I can’t eat that’ or ‘I choose not to eat that’. In the latter thought, you’re acknowledging that you have power over your decision. Another example is your thought process in relation to exercise. You can say ‘I have to workout this morning’ or ‘I choose to workout today’. Acknowledging that you have a choice is a simple and very powerful tool in your weight loss success. There are a few necessary steps to make it easier to make the better choice. First, pick a program that is proven to be successful. Do your research, and learn what you need to do in order to be successful. There’s no point making choices that will not yield results. Next, make changes in your environment to help you make the better choice. This could include throwing out the junk food in your house, stocking your

fridge full of fresh fruit and veggies, or rearranging your work schedule so you have a longer lunch break (long enough for a brisk walk!). Finally, Tanja enlist a Shaw coach or support network to keep you accountable to your action plan. No matter where you are today, YOU have the power to change where you are tomorrow by the decisions you make… So make good ones! Tanja Shaw is the owner of Ascend Fitness Coaching, a private training studio. Tanja and her team of expert fitness professionals work to inspire and educate Chilliwack residents to make positive and power changes in their lives through physical fitness and sound nutrition.

Educated guesswork The Chiefs were a perfect 4-0-0-0 in PG this season, while the Spruce Kings were 2-1-0-1 in Chilliwack, writes Jacob Bestebroer

Alex Perron Fontaine (No. 19 in red) and his Chilliwack Chief teammates pummeled Langley twice to end the regular season, and they now head into a best-of-five playoff series versus Prince George. ERIC WELSH/ PROGRESS

Smyl sees tough match in Sprucies Don’t let Chilliwack’s dominance of the regular season series fool you, says Chiefs coach Harvey Smyl. The first round series between his Chiefs and the Prince George Spruce Kings will be a major test for the home team. Yes, the Chiefs beat PG in six of the eight head-toheads, but with a different bounce here or there, Smyl thinks the Spruce Kings could have had another one or two wins. “I don’t think the record is really an indication of the difference in teams,” he said. In this best of five series, the key may be the goaltenders.

Kirk Thompson is the go-to guy for Prince George, and the sort of netminder who can cause all sorts of havoc. “He’s played extremely well since Christmas, and when you get into a short series, a goaltender can make the difference,” Smyl said. “We need to make sure we’re around him, getting in tight so he knows we’re there. We need to get second opportunities and when we get them, we need to execute.” Chilliwack’s for wards will have to show determination to get through a big PG defensive corps. Settling for perimeter shots won’t get it done against Thompson. At

the other end, the focus will be on containing PG’s team speed. They may not have an elite scorer, but they move the puck in a hurry and move in quick on the forecheck. “Discipline will be important,” Smyl said, offering another key to the series. “We don’t want to give them any advantage. We can control our discipline and we need to control it.” Though his team struggled down the stretch, Chilliwack beat Langley twice to end the regular season. Smyl saw good things that have him feeling hopeful. “Uneven would be a good

term,” he said, describing Chilliwack’s final month and a half. “ But I have liked the way we’ve played the last couple games. The team discipline was way better. The defensive play was good and we generated a lot of chances.” The best-of-five format is often seen as a benefit to the underdog, but Smyl’s not buying it. “I can’t believe we’re in a best-of-five at our level, but it is what it is,” he said, taking a shot at the league’s playoff structure. “Game one is so very important. We’re focused on being prepared for Friday night. We don’t worry about anything beyond that.”

Goalie Gillam gets more hardware

A pair of Chilliwack Chiefs have won major BCHL awards. The league announced the winners of its year-end hardware Tuesday morning. A survey of BCHL coaches names Chilliwack goaltender Mitch Gillam

the winner of the Vern Dye Memorial trophy as the most valuable player in the Coastal conference, with Trail’s Brent Baltus earning the Interior conference honour. Luke Esposito wins the Bruce Allison Memorial trophy as the Coastal conference rookie of the year, with Penticton’s Ryan Gropp getting the Interior conference nod. The Best Defenceman award in the Coastal conference goes to Surrey’s Devon Toews (Coastal) and Penticton’s Troy Stecher

(Interior). The Bob Fenton trophy for most sportsmanlike player goes to Alberni Valley’s Ryan Lough (Coastal) and Salmon Arm’s Brad Mistal (Interior). The Joe Tennant Memorial trophy for coach of the year goes to Victoria’s Bill Bestwick (Coastal) and Merritt’s Luke Pierce (Interior). Langley’s Mario Puskarich wins the Brett Hull trophy as BCHL scoring leader. Puskarich’s 16-point margin over Chilliwack’s

Austin Plevy is the largest since 2006, when Merritt’s Brandon Wong’s 116 points were 15 better than Chilliwack’s Matt Butcher. This year’s award to the netminder with the lowest goals against average in at least 1000 minutes played goes to Surrey’s Michael Santaguida, who posted a 2.28 GAA in 2,582 minutes played. The Wally Forslund award for the top goaltending tandem (best combined GAA) goes to Penticton’s Chad Katunar and Nic Renyard.

It’s playoff time which also means it’s prediction time. I don’t mind making them. I’m not scared of being wrong. I’m just not fond of the word predict, which is defined as ‘to declare or tell in advance; prophesy; foretell.’ I think the word that should be used is guess, which is defined as ‘to arrive at or commit oneself to an opinion about (something) without having sufficient evidence to support the opinion fully.’ The Chiefs and their first round opponent, the Prince George Spruce Kings met eight times during the regular season. That’s the specific evidence we have to make a prediction/guess. Don’t think I haven’t spent more than a few hours poring over all the stats and numbers those eight games provided. I have, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I just don’t think it’s enough to enable me to be 100 per cent sure of what is going to happen. But it does enable me to guess, so here we go. The Chiefs have home ice advantage. I think the advantage is lessened by the fact that the series is a best-of-five. And here’s the strange thing. Each team was very good in the other team’s rink this season. The Chiefs were a perfect 4-00-0 in Prince George, while the Spruce Kings were 2-1-0-1 in Chilliwack. Luke Esposito had 13 in eight games while Phil Zielonka had 12 points in six games. Both teams relied heavily on their starting goaltenders. Spruce Kings starter Kirk Thompson led the league in minutes played (2806). Chiefs started Mitch

Gillam finished second (2750). Gillam was named Coastal conference most valuable player earlier this week. In the eight games the two teams played each other, Gillam posted two shutouts and was named first star three times. Obvious advantage to the Chiefs right? Not so fast. Thompson was also named first star three times versus Chilliwack this season and all three of those games were played in Chilliwack. Advantage Chilliwack yes, but it’s close. Offensively, the Chiefs are better. They outscored Prince George 182-170 during the regular season. Head to head they came out on top 29-16. Chiefs forward Austin Plevy finished second (74 points) in league scoring while Esposito was just three points behind him. Plevy earned 17 of those 74 points in the eight games against the Spruce Kings. There is no question the Chiefs have the better special teams. Chilliwack had the third best power play (22.61 per cent) and the number one penalty kill (86.08 per cent). The Spruce Kings power play ranked 14th (17.02 per cent) while their penalty killing finished seventh (81.09 per cent). The Chiefs were even better in the games against Prince George, scoring on 10 of 39 power play opportunities while killing off 34 of 39 penalties. Take these numbers, along with many others that I don’t have the space here to discuss, mash them all together and what does it all mean? I’m guessing Chiefs in four. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Other BCHL Coastal conference playoff matchups have Surrey versus Langley, Victoria versus Powell River and Nanaimo versus Alberni Valley. The Interior conference first round matchups have Penticton hosting Salmon Arm and the West Kelowna Warriors hosting Merritt. See bchl.ca for more.

The University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team will face the Saint Mary’s Huskies in their CIS Final 8 opener Friday morning.

mark (12) for wins in a season. The team was ranked No. 1 in the CIS Top-10 poll for two weeks and never dropped below fourth. “Making our first appearance at the Final 8 is another accomplishment and another first for this team,” said head coach Al Tuchscherer, who has guided the UFV crew the last 11 seasons, dating back to their time in the CCAA (Canadian Colleges Athletic Association). Tuchscherer is one of the founders of the Junior Cascade Program, where junior and high school student-athletes can hone their skills in preparation for participating in CIS women’s varsity basketball. Twelve current Cascades have gone through the program, and the core of the team

has played together for years. Mission’s Aieisha Luyken was UFV’s top scorer this season with a 13.2 points-per-game average. Chilliwack’s Sarah Wierks averaged 12.6 ppg and produced 9.6 rebounds per game. Tuchscherer has many weapons and a deep bench to call upon, a valuable thing in a short tournament. Seven different players averaged four or more points per game for UFV and six different Cascades led the team in scoring during the regular and post season. Seven dif ferent Cascades led in rebounding and in 12 regular season games, every player on the roster scored two or more points. Defensively, UFV held their opponents

to under 10 points in a quarter 12 times this season. Their tenacious D forced opponents to commit 580 turnovers in 22 regular season games. The venue for this weekend’s three-day tournament is a familar one. UFV visited the University of Regina Cougars Centre for Kinesiology, Health and Sport three times this year. The Cascades participated in two Cougarhosted preseason events, earning a record of 4-2 with wins over the Cougars and Carleton Ravens. In the regular season UFV lost a 59-55 nail biter to the Cougars Dec. 1. Get more CIS women’s basketball info at english.cis-sic.ca/ spor ts/wbkb/index and get UFV info at ufv. ca/athletics.

The Chilliwack Warriors female hockey team capped off a solid season with a second place finish in the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association’s midget C playoffs. Chilliwack travelled to Port Moody Sunday to face the Tri-City Predators in the championship game. Warriors goaltender Teagan Ackland-Gaetz made several huge stops, but the offence sputtered in a 3-0 loss. The team worked hard to create opportunities, but couldn’t connect. Maddison Krulicki, Heather McGhie, Amanda Schreurs, Mackayla Madden, and Isabella Gagnon did great work on the boards and in the corners, while centres Taylor Allenby and Shantel Andrews lurked in the slot. Graduating forward Kelsea Clemonson was unable to attend the final. At the other end of the rink, Warriors blueliners Kristy Ricard, Keanna Esau, Victoria Gagnon and Angelique Basson were as solid as they’ve been all year. “Female hockey is growing in the Lower Mainland” said coach Shannon Bettles. “Parents and athletes are now learning of the opportunities female hockey can bring to young girls and women, not to mention lifelong friendships, fitness and fun.” Bettles coached alongside Michael Gaetz and Rob Schurers. Tricia Ackland managed the team. The Warriors silver medal performance comes at a time when the Chilliwack Minor Hockey Association has just released its plan to support the growth of

Tweak things that have not been working as you had hoped. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, make some concessions if it means keeping the peace around the house. Sometimes you have to simply sit back and let others be in the spotlight.

CLARK Helen

1924-2012 Born as H e l e n a Dyck in Harris, SK on Oct. 24, 1924 she weighed in at one pound CLARK and was kept warm on the oven door at home. Growing up she was not always content with the Status Quo, sometimes an instigator, but always willing to break with tradition. Moving across the Prairies she met and married her Bible School Teacher and her love Abe Koop, they continued on to BC where she had six boys and 17 grandchildren. Widowed in 1993, married a second time in 1999 to Harry Clark, enjoyed another love, retirement, and wonderful friends.Â Widowed again in August 2012 and left us to be with the Lord on December 4. Her passion of art evident in the many pieces left in charcoal, acrylics, and oil. She loved the water and spent many years in synchronized swimming, practicing, having fun, and competing. Her love of music has left many memories of her filling the house with wonderful melodies on the piano amidst a Heavenly smell of fresh baking. High on her list was going out for lunch with Harry and reading while she could.Â From the very small beginning grew a great heart and we were blessed to have had her and to know her.Â A daughter, a sister, a mother, a wife, a grandmother, a teacher, a great-grandmother, a confidant, and a friend. She lived, she laughed, she loved, and we grieve.Â Memorial to be held April 13th at Sardis Fellowship Baptist Church Wells Rd., Chilliwack 12:00 noon.
